this is not a public house, but a chitalishte http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitalishte

The best 12 years of my life... Here I was formed as a person.

A small boat found itself in the center of an enormous storm, what could it do to survive? I think almost all Bulgarian governments in modern time regardless of their ideology have acted wisely to keep Bulgaria as unharmed as possible. Yet every casualty hurts, but just think about 40 million people killed in WW2. The German could kill, so did the Russian. But Bulgaria came out almost intact from the war.Wasn't it a miracle? Or a quiet victory? History is not written only in black and white. We should be even-handed when judging the merits and demerits of a time, a generation or a system.

NEW: Winter meetings will be held at "Chichovci" restaurant: http://www.chichovtsi.com/ НОВО: От Декември зимните срещи на клуба ще се провеждат в пицария "Чичовци" - в центъра на кв."Драгалевци"-на 3 километра от ЕЛДА.Сборния пункт остава бензиностанцията.Начален час-според графика.

I've been here only once. A funny scene was the playful monkeys teasing the flushing ladies-visitors by showing their erected maleness.

И аз учих български тук, но много по-късно - през 1997-1998. Еех. :)

Yes, that's absolutely true. The pizza-house Victoria inside the complex is very yummy!!!

Free wireless (from the neighbours)

The district is occupied with other migrants macedonians that they have fired by the wars have found once Peace here. They have been regimenting houses and have been rearing their children. Today their progeny loom large to them in the district that is part of region"Илинден".

it's very beautiful road and destination

Unfortunately "Kino Iztok" is no longer operational.

A 15-screen cinema complex with restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, nursery area and 700 car-parking. Near the 5-star Holiday Inn hotel.

This would be 127th secondary school "Ivan Nikolaevich Denkoglu", Sofia

The original plan was to build two towers in this place. This was in 1986 and no associations to 911 can be made. However in 1989 when communist regime falls there was not enough funding to complete the second building. Now this spot is fill by brand-new business-center. On the south side of the old building are still construction remains for it's twin tower never to be build.

When I was the first year student in VMEI Sofia (1977) our team ferformed a song named "Five brothers in a tank" during the Summer Festival, wearing "government suits". When we appeared on the stage, those from the embassy were so stunned and all folks in the hall could not help laughing to tear. Later we received from the embassy a seriour censure for "improper behavior". What a fun !

I wish I could some day find a old friend of mine and we'd talk about those years of our youth, recall so many memories.

This Hotel must have been built later than 1983 because when I left Bulgaria, it did not exist yet. Instead there was a very luxurious for that time Japanese hotel named Vitosha at another place.

Here I bought my first photocamera (Russian "Kiev") shortly after I arrived in Sofia. Also I used to come for music (plastic) discs. I spent a lot of money here. (1977-1983)
